Sunday I said I had no idea what I was going to upload for today, well, Monday UP came through with a nice treat... ugly as it is.  But a treat nonetheless.  Best part is that UP was on the ball and not wasting any time, so I wasn't out waiting for hours on end.

I saw a post on Facebook that morning from Chris that this train was in KC, but I was really busy at work and it didn't take long to completely forget it was coming.  So after I got off and back home, he asked me if I was going after it, and I was all, "Uuuh... I don't know, hadn't thought about it."  Asked him how much time I had to get track-side and fortunately I had just enough time to get ready and get there.

Only had to wait about 20 minutes or so, and with Chris and Spencer both texting me while I waited, made the time go by quick... but those dogs, holy crap they would not shut up.  So, sorry for that in the video, it was out of my hands.

But this was the first time I've seen one of these new Tier 4 locomotives and it isn't any better looking in person.  That "hunchback" just does not look good.  It was different though, so I had to go for it.  Oh, and the horn on the leader, UP 8558, was fantastic.  So enjoy the horn show!

I might be going out of town this weekend, so I'm not sure if Sunday's video will be uploaded that day, may actually come on Monday.  That also means I won't be at the club Saturday if I go, so a club video may be a couple weeks out.

Stay tuned though, more to come!
